NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Marcus Lemonis Fashion Group, a collection of expanding
fashion brands and retailers across the United States, is proud to
announce the opening of MARCUS, a new shopping and retail
experience, in the heart of New York City’s trendy Meatpacking District. MARCUS
is a contemporary multi-label womenswear and lifestyle boutique with
nearly 20 locations and counting in and around Aspen, Boston, Chicago,
Dallas, New York and Palm Beach to name a few. The growing line of
stores is owned by Marcus Lemonis, an entrepreneur,
philanthropist, and star of CNBC’s hit reality series, The
Profit, in which he lends his expertise to assist struggling
small businesses around the country.

MARCUS is a luxe one-stop-shop with a curated balance of
one-of-a-kind artwork, books, candles, chocolate, décor, gifts, and of
course wardrobe essentials. The boutique offers both up-and-coming and
best-selling designers including “cooler” brands such as Mother, DL
1961, Spiritual Gangster, Autumn Cashmere, Rebecca Taylor,
The Kooples, Theory, Zadig + Voltaire, Halston, The Line, and many
more.

“As a way to say thank you for supporting my retail businesses over
the past few years, I wanted to give back with a new women’s shopping
experience like no other. I’m proud to introduce you to my newest
concept, MARCUS, a luxury fashion and lifestyle destination for women
offering the latest styles, curated by me,” said Lemonis. “Based
on the feedback and interest of our shoppers, I’ve filled the store with
best-sellers they already love, while also introducing new brands and
statement pieces they won’t be able to live without. Our store is here
to help women feel their best in quality fashion from around the world
and take charge of their lives. We’ve built a talented team of expert
fashion stylists to offer customers top-tier shopping guidance and make
them feel good every step of the way.”

Lemonis first began his fashion retail empire when Upper East Side
family-owned business COURAGE b appeared on The Profit in
2014, before eventually expanding locations and ultimately
rebranding. As Lemonis continued his fashion and retail development, he
named COURAGE b’s own Stephanie Menkin as President of Marcus
Lemonis Fashion Group. Together, Lemonis and Menkin partnered in
fashion businesses like Inkkas Shoes, Printed Village, Flex Watches, and
Susana Monaco in addition to contemporary retailers The Blues
Jean Bar, Denim & Soul, Runway, Final Sale and UNION73.
The first MARCUS retail concept opened in Chicago in October of
2017, immediately followed by a decision to reimagine and rebrand all
existing fashion retail concepts to become MARCUS.

“It’s been an immensely rewarding journey to expand our businesses
around the country, but it’s especially fulfilling to bring this one
back home to New York City,” said Menkin. “As a diehard New
Yorker, I’ve been a lifelong retailer here, and couldn’t think of a
better location or time to open our store as the Meatpacking District
comes out of its industrial retail resurgence.”

MARCUS Meatpacking celebrated with a grand opening bash on
Thursday, May 10th, which closed off a portion of W 13th St., carpeting
